The Software may not be used to provide computer time sharing, third-party training, virtual or actual hosting, or as a service bureau for any third parties.

The term “Software” as used in this Agreement shall include all updates, corrections, interfaces, modifications and documentation made available by Book4Time to the Customer.

Book4Time’s Proprietary Material shall include, without limitation, the Software, all password protected material on Book4Time’s web site and all passwords provided to the Customer in connection with this Agreement. Proprietary Material does not include information that: (i) is, as of the time of its disclosure, or thereafter becomes, part of the public domain without breach of this Agreement; (ii) was known to the receiving party prior to the time of its disclosure; (iii) is independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the Proprietary Material; or (iv) is subsequently learned from a third party not subject to an obligation of confidentiality with respect to the information disclosed.

Each party agrees that with respect to any Proprietary Material that is disclosed by one party to the other party that, except as expressly specified in this Agreement, the party receiving such Proprietary Material shall: (i) maintain in confidence such Proprietary Material, using the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information of like nature, but not less than a reasonable degree of care; (ii) not disclose any such Proprietary Material to any person outside that party’s business organization; and (iii) use such Proprietary Material only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement

The Customer shall limit the use of and access to the Software and all other Proprietary Material provided by Book4Time hereunder to its employees whose use of or access to the Software is necessary for the Customer’s business and who are bound to keep such Proprietary Material confidential. The Customer shall immediately notify Book4Time in writing of any unauthorized use of or access to Book4Time’s Proprietary Material. The Customer shall not copy any of Book4Time’s Proprietary Material without prior written notice from Book4Time.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of a party in possession of the Proprietary Material (the “Receiving Party”) of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) to disclose such Proprietary Material, and the Receiving Party shall have no liability for such disclosure, if such disclosure is (i) required to be made pursuant to law or regulation, government authority, duly authorized subpoena or court order, whereupon the Receiving Party will provide prompt notice to the Disclosing Party and give the Disclosing Party an opportunity to respond prior to such disclosure and seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy; (ii) required to be made to a court or other tribunal in connection with the enforcement of the Receiving Party’s rights under this Agreement whereupon and to the extent allowed by such court or tribunal the Receiving Party will provide prompt notice to the Disclosing Party and give the Disclosing Party an opportunity to respond prior to such disclosure and seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy; or (iii) is approved by the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, locate, or be traced back to the specific person to whom such information pertains, or from which identification or contact information of an individual person can be derived (“PII”) delivered or made available to Book4Time under or pursuant to this Agreement, Book4Time agrees that: As between the Customer and Book4Time, the Customer owns and retains all rights in and to the PII, and Book4Time shall not use, process, copy, reproduce, display, publish or create derivative works from the PII without the Customer’s express written permission, except (A) for the purpose of carrying out its obligations set forth in this Agreement, and (B) as permitted by Section 2(e)(v) below. Book4Time shall use reasonable commercial efforts to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of PII by: (1) treating PII as strictly confidential; and (2) taking industry standard administrative, technical and physical measures to attempt to secure and protect the PII against unauthorized, unlawful or accidental access, disclosure, transfer, destruction, loss or alteration. Book4Time shall promptly notify the Customer if Book4Time becomes aware of any unauthorized access to the PII, or, to the extent legally permissible, if Book4Time becomes the subject of any governmental, regulatory, or other enforcement or private proceeding relating to its PII handling practices. When collecting, using, storing, transferring and otherwise processing the PII, Book4Time shall adhere to all applicable export and data privacy laws, domestically and internationally. In the case of any legal obligation to disclose the PII, Book4Time shall: (1) promptly notify and cooperate with the Customer if it is legally permitted to do so; (2) limit any disclosure to the minimum required by law; and (3) to the extent possible, request that such information be kept confidential. Book4Time will own all Aggregated Data. “Aggregated Data” means anonymized, aggregated data derived by or through the operation of the Services that is created by or on behalf of Book4Time and that does not reveal any PII. The Customer agrees that nothing in this Agreement will prohibit Book4Time from utilizing Aggregated Data for any purpose, provided such Aggregated Data does not reveal any Customer PII. The restrictions on the use and disclosure of the Customer PII set forth herein shall survive the expiration or termination of the Agreement.

INFRINGEMENT INDEMNIFICATION

Book4Time warrants and agrees that it will indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Customer from and against any action brought or allegation made against the Customer to the extent that it is based upon a claim that the Software infringes any intellectual property rights and will pay any costs, damages and reasonable attorney’s fees attributable to such claim that are awarded against the Customer. Book4Time’s obligations hereunder are contingent on the following conditions: (i) the Customer must notify Book4Time in writing promptly after the Customer becomes aware of a claim or the possibility thereof; (ii) the Customer must grant Book4Time the sole control of the settlement, compromise, negotiation and defense of any such claim; and (iii) the Customer must cooperate with Book4Time and provide Book4Time with all information related to the claim that is reasonably requested by Book4Time; provided, however, that no failure of the Customer to comply with these provisions shall relieve Book4Time of its obligations hereunder, unless and to the extent Book4Time is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. Book4Time will not settle any claim pursuant to this section without the Customer’s written consent unless the settlement involves no admission by or penalty against the Customer, and the Customer receives a full and final release.

If the Software or any part thereof becomes, or in Book4Time’s opinion is likely to become, the subject of a valid claim of infringement, Book4Time may, at its option, (i) obtain the right for the Customer to continue using the Software; or (ii) replace or modify the Software so that it is no longer infringing; or (iii) if neither (i) nor (ii) are reasonably practicable, terminate the right to use the Software granted herein. If Book4Time selects (iii), it will reimburse the unused portion of any prepaid fees hereunder, and no such termination will relieve Book4Time from its obligations under Section 3(a) of this Agreement.

The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any infringement claim to the extent arising from the Customer’s use of the Software in material non-conformance with its documentation or as reasonably contemplated hereunder, solely to the extent that such infringement relates to such use.
